Thinnest Viable Platform examples

Examples of a Thinnest Viable Platform (TVP) as defined in the book Team Topologies.

A TVP is a careful balance between keeping the platform small and ensuring that the platform is helping to accelerate and simplify software delivery for teams building on the platform. (p.101, Team Topologies)

This can be rephrased as:

A TVP is the smallest set of APIs, documentation, and tools needed to accelerate the teams developing modern software services and systems.

This material is based on some of the ideas in the book Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton @matthewskelton and Manuel Pais @manupaisable.
